In the last two years, I have met some of the most prominent individuals in our field. I have been able to share conversation with them one on one over coffee or lunch—not just listen to their teaching from afar. I have traveled across the country to be part of leadership experiences I would never have thought possible. I have gained new friendships with colleagues I had only known tangentially in the past and some I would never have met otherwise. I have been permitted to share my own experiences and knowledge with you OCDA President Dara Gillis

From Your PresidentWho Is Serving Whom?AS I WRITE my final article as the president ofOCDA, I am struck by how quickly the last twoyears have passed. I am preparing for my finalconference as president and looking forward tosharing time with friends and colleagues fromthroughout the state. I am excited to bringSimon Carrington from Toulouse, France, to thegreat state of Ohio for all three days so that he may share his expertise andmusical knowledge as well as his wit and humor. I am pleased that HowardHelvey will deliver two excellent clinics on church music and the creativeprocess of composition. Kristina Caswell-MacMullen will share twothought provoking sessions on artistry and movement in performance andbuilding community within the choral ensemble. Amy Johnston-Blosserwill share her wonderful knowledge of literature selection for all choral en-sembles. Each of these will prove to be exciting, engaging, educational, andespecially motivational for all in attendance.

But, I must admit that as excited as I am to hear and see what our con-ference has in store, it will be bittersweet as it marks the end of my term asyour president. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in this position butmore than that, I cannot believe the ways in which it has helped me togrow. We find ourselves in positions such as this most often because an-other in our field asks us if we would be “willing to serve.” As I look backover the years I have spent on the board of OCDA—first as region chair,then membership chair, president-elect, and now president—and as I lookahead to the new role I will assume on July 1, I find it somewhat ironic thatwe are approached to assume roles such as these in order to “serve others.” Isay this because this experience has shown me that it is really the personserving who receives the most benefit.

In the last two years, I have met some of the most prominent individualsin our field. I have been able to share conversation with them one on one overcoffee or lunch—not just listen to their teaching from afar. I have traveledacross the country to be part of leadership experiences I would never havethought possible. I have gained new friendships with colleagues I had onlyknown tangentially in the past and some I would never have met otherwise. Ihave been permitted to share my own experiences and knowledge with you

on every subject from literature se-lection to traveling with students.Indeed, as I list here all the ways inwhich I have gained and grown inthis position, it’s clear to me that I’mthe one who has been served.

We are all busy people. It is dif-ficult to find a choral director whodoes not burn the candle at bothends and maintain a schedule that

would frighten even the mostdriven type-A personality. How-ever, I can honestly say, if given theopportunity to go back in time andaccept this responsibility again, Iwould not hesitate.

I thank you for the chance toserve you. I encourage each of youto take on similar service opportu-nities should they be offered to

you. You will be amazed at the pro-fessional and personal growth youare afforded through the experi-ence. I hope that you finish yourspring in wonderful, musical waysand I look forward to seeing youJune 22–24 on the Otterbein cam-pus for what I know will be an ex-citing and rewarding three days ofgrowth through music. d

IN THE “SPRING” of my life, I stum-bled into a number of fortunate de-cisions. Having been raised by twowonderful parents and given everyencouragement to pursue my mu-sical aspirations, and inspired bymy organ instructor and highschool choral director, I changedmy plans to become an architect,selecting vocal music education in-stead. Next, I chose Mount UnionCollege for my undergraduate de-gree; as it happened, I sang withthe Mount Union Choir underCecil Stewart, who had createdthere a mini–St. Olaf in Ohio. I wasa freshman; he was in his last year

as director. en, I sang and stud-ied conducting with Bruce Browne,just then finishing his doctorate inone of the nation’s first conductingprograms under Rodney Eichen-berger. is was the greatest goodfortune of all. Bruce was deeplycommitted to the new AmericanChoral Director’s Association, andbundled us into a college van tohead off to each convention. ere,I fell in love with this wonderfulprofessional organization, and it’sbeen one of the great love affairs ofmy life!

During the “Summer” of my life,as I strove to grow as a music edu-

cator andchoral director,ACDA wasthere for me each and every year. Iread the Journal cover to covermonthly (every one is still on mybookshelf!); I built a base of treas-ured, life-long colleagues throughour own state conferences. MyACDA friends were always therefor me: to host a tour choir, to sug-gest repertoire, to serve as choralclinicians, to share stories andideas. One of my Mount Unioncollegaues and friends, Jim Feiszli,foresaw the future potential of theWorldwide Web, and helped begin

ChoralNet, now one of ACDA’sgreatest online resources. ACDAcollegiality is now internationaland infinite. And then, there wasalways convention! Each year, thatincredible opportunity to hear thefinest choirs perform, to learn newliterature, to visit with colleagues,to learn from some of the greatestminds in our profession, and tospend three days of absolute joy inchoral nirvana!

I suppose “Fall” has now arrived.(It’s surely not “Winter” yet, at leastin my estimation!) Having retiredafter thirty-one wonderful yearsteaching music and directing highschool choirs, I now enjoy workingwith a talented and dedicated com-munity choir as well as dabbling inthe tour business with WitteTravel. My long-term relationshipwith ACDA continues and has ma-tured. I am privileged, delighted,and honored to be serving as StatePresident for OCDA over the nexttwo years. My opportunity to re-turn service to my colleagues andthis great organization is truly agift to me. Feel free to contact meat any time to let me know how Ican help you.

Over the seasons of my life, Ihave been nourished consistentlyand increasingly by ACDA. Servingas Ohio Treasurer early in my ca-reer, I sent packets of checks toWayne Hugoboom’s front porch inFlorida, and collected conferencefees in college dormitories eachsummer, where I also handed outlinens! Goodness, my heart swelledwith ACDA pride recently when,seated in the Mormon Tabernacle,we heard Tim Sharp report our na-

tional membership at 21,000!ACDA resources have grown withthe membership. e organizationhas improved in every way. Havingbeen around as long as I have, I’vewitnessed the way ACDA has af-fected the very style and quality ofchoral singing and literaturethroughout our nation, and is nowbeginning to do so globally.

My advice? Grab your ACDAresources, and use them! Makesure, this year, you let one othernon-ACDA colleague or newteacher know about our ACDA,and bring them with you to sum-mer conference. See you at Otter-bein, and, once again, thank you forthe chance to serve you. d
